* Taping should be a last resort; try to fix the underlying problem first.
=Tapes=
I've used various tapes on myself and other runners, as well as conducting some specific comparison tests. I've applied multiple tapes on dry skin, wet skin and wet skin with adhesive promoter and left them in place until they fall off to see how they hold up. The wet skin tests had semi-macerated skin, where I'd kept the skin wet for several hours to mimic race conditions.
* '''Leukotape P'''. This is the only tape I've found that sticks to skin that is already wet without an adhesive promoter. If you only have one tape, this should probably be it. [http://www.zombierunner.com/store/categories/foot_care/tapes/product967.html Leukotape P at Zombie Runner].
* '''Hypafix'''. I have not used Hypafix extensively, but I've been impressed with its characteristics. It's inflexible, thin, soft and the edges don't fray too badly. [http://www.zombierunner.com/store/categories/foot_care/tapes/product968.html Hypafix at Zombie Runner].
